Looks like the site is down due to an HN hug of death.

If you do get through, this is much more interesting than the title makes it sound. It's not just the images, but how you can get them directly from the satellite with your own radio and antenna.

Is there a word for the converse of "clickbait"?

The opposite of bait is repellent, so in that sense it would be "clickrepellent". However, I don't think that gets across the point that it is the inverse of "low value content with a misleadingly appealing headline", i.e. it is high value content with a headline that doesn't adequately reflect the value of the content. For this I was going to suggest "clickfish", as in the valuable objective of bait (assuming a fishing metaphor). However, a quick internet search reveals this is a widely used term already, e.g. for an internet surfer who falls for (and reposts) clickbait, or the name of anti-clickbait software. Then I thought of abstracting this a level with "clicksupper", as in fish supper, a wholesome meal made from fish and served with chips. Or how about "clicktreasure", thinking of buried treasure. But then again, how about simply "anti-clickbait"?
